Alpha Helix – best of both worlds Alpha sets itself ambitious targets in the areas of insulation, noise and pricing. Our research & development department has succeeded in developing an unprecedentedly fast sectional door that also offers exceptional insulation performance: the Alpha Helix. Specially designed rollers keep noise to a minimum. This patented system also contributes to the sleek design of the Alpha Helix. Traditionally, two doors are often mounted in frequently used exterior openings; an insulated door for use at night and a high speed door that is used during the day. The new Alpha Helix / S600 combines the best of both worlds in a single product. An investment that pays for itself in next to no time! • Opens 6 x faster than a similar sectional door • Doesn’t require extended backroom because of the spiral system • Energy saving because of insulated panels and fast opening • Hardly needs any servicing up to 200.000 cycles because of the intelligent drive system without counter balance Look at the information and video about the Helix www.alpha-deuren.nl/en-gb/home.aspx Reference project – Major Distribution Warehouse for global retailer Alpha is very proud to have contributed to a successful large distribution centre at Crick in Northamptonshire. The distribution centre was divided into 2 sections, ambient temperature and chilled area. Prior to the order, Alpha supplied 2 trial doors into a similar environment to satisfy client usability, ease of use, and to check for condensation in the chill area. Thankfully upon inspection, the end user client approved the doors in both the ambient and chilled areas. Furthermore, initially the end user client selected ISO40 Doors for the project, however because insulation and low U values were required the client subsequently decided to upgrade all doors to the Alpha ISO60 offering improved U value’s over the Industry norm 40mm doors. Contract details: 178 ISO60 Doors 2800mm x 3050mm with T500 tracks with low level spring consoles for ease of maintenance. 77 THE door industry journal summer 2017 Alpha Helix spiral track Alpha Helix door ISO60 doors (viewed from outside) Reference Project: ISO60 doors
